Tun Up Tun Up Riddim – Dave Kelly / First Name Music

Tun Up Tun Up Riddim lands in that sharp, mid-tempo 2012 dancehall pocket Dave Kelly has long done so well, with a taut, chant-ready pulse that leaves room for the voices to cut through. Agent Sasco’s “Hot” and Spice’s “Body Great” do a lot of the heavy lifting here, while Cham’s “Tun Up” brings the title phrase into focus and Bling Dawg’s “Bubble” adds a cheeky counterpoint; the whole thing runs like a compact 20-minute set rather than a sprawling juggling. First Name Music issued it on May 29, 2012, and the package closes on the instrumental version, which keeps the riddim’s bare bones in view and underlines how tightly the production is locked together.
